A Brewer man carried an orange traffic cone into a Bangor pizza restaurant on Wednesday and flung it over the counter in apparent anger that his girlfriend had recently been fired from the restaurant.

Bangor police received a call shortly before 5 p.m. from the Hammond Street Angelo’s Pizzeria where a woman said that a man was “tearing the place apart,” Bangor police Officer Douglas Moore reported.

Arriving, Moore found the restaurant’s owner in the parking lot with another man, later identified as Timothy R. Spearen, 21. The owner reported that Spearen came into the restaurant ranting, screaming and carrying a traffic cone that he threw over the counter, knocking food to the floor.

Spearen was walking away as police arrived and Moore summoned him for disorderly conduct and gave him a warning not to return to the restaurant.

In the same area that Brewer police were called to investigate a report of a suspicious driver shortly before 3 a.m. Thursday, Officer Amy Nickerson came across a motorist and stopped to talk with her. Nickerson subsequently charged the motorist, identified as Cheri Snow, 36, of Brewer, with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicants.

Snow had a conditional license, which meant she couldn’t drink any alcohol and drive. Her blood alcohol content registered above the legal limit of 0.08 percent, according to the police. Snow also was charged with violating bail conditions.

A man reported to Bangor police on Thursday that his 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo that he left parked in a back lot of a Midas shop in Bangor had been heavily damaged overnight. The front windshield was broken, all four tires slashed, the hood was scratched, the taillights were broken and the rear fender was dented.

Bangor police officers handled several accidents Thursday, including two involving stopped vehicles. In one case, a motorist traveling north on State Street about 10:30 a.m. tried to pass a Dennis Paper Co. truck stopped on the side of the road and struck the end of the truck. One passenger reported back pain and another reported arm pain, police said. In another accident, about 11:45 a.m. on outer Hammond Street, a motorist reported that she looked into her back seat to check on her child and didn’t see traffic up ahead had stopped. The two children in the vehicle were fine, but an adult passenger complained of chest or stomach pain.
